UK Retail in the Regions 2009: Wales
Verdict Research Limited, Nov 2009, Pages: 20
Introduction
Verdict's new retail in the regions series utilises data from the Local Data Company to profile 712 retail locations across the UK, as well as giving overviews of the comparative performance of the major regions. The 11 briefs cover East Midlands, Eastern England, London, North East England, North West England, Scotland, South East England, South West England, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire
Scope
Number of units, shops and gross floorspaces of all town centresVacancy rates for 2008 and 2009 by units and floorspace and degree of floorspace churn for all townsProportion of multiple retailers in a town and ratio of comparison, convenience, leisure and service retailers in a townEach brief comes with accompanying excel databook
Highlights
The north-east is the poorest performing region in UK retail , with vacancy rates of 9.7%. Average weekly expenditure per person is far lower than any other region and unemployment is the highest in the UK.
London dominates the UK regions by retail scale. Though it is second to the South-east for population size it has by far the most retail centres, number of shops and retail floorspace of any area. Vacancy rates have increased by just 2.9 percentage points over the past year.
Large towns that have performed particularly strongly include more affluent areas such as St Albans, Stevenage and Ely. In Essex, areas that are closer to London such as Harlow and Chelmsford have also proved more resilient, perhaps reflecting the current lack of retail offer in East London.
